Creating something that builds lasting value and changes the lives of millions of people requires forging a team that will work hard to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles, stand up to the pressures of fame and fortune, and stay true to the original vision long after others stop believing.

Fame and fortune are as hard to find as a lightning strike.

Entrepreneurs always begin the journey believing that they have the next big idea. They dream of the fame and fortune that awaits them if only they had the funding to pursue it. But the reality is that as the product is built and shared with customers, flaws in their concept are discovered that - if not overcome - will kill the business.

Stay strong. Stand up. Have a voice.

At 93, I'm not looking forward to fame and fortune.

Fame and fortune are calling. Are we taking the call or blocking the number?
